About Us
At Vector Technology Solutions (VTS), we’re on a mission to revolutionise how energy data is managed, accessed, and used, both in Aotearoa and around the world.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Vector and working in close partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), we’re building global, cloud-native data platforms that unlock the power of energy information. Our goal is to enable smarter decisions, accelerate innovation, and create a more sustainable future.
We work at the intersection of energy, data, and digital transformation and we’re just getting started.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Designer to join our growing design team and help shape the future of our cloud-native energy platform, Diverge. This role is embedded within a cross-functional product team, working closely with engineers, product owners, and tech leads to deliver intuitive, user-first experiences.
You’ll be hands-on with UX and UI design, supporting product delivery while also contributing to go-to-market collateral and the evolution of our design system. You’ll be the user voice in the room, balancing design fundamentals with practical delivery in a technically complex, engineering-led environment.
Success in this role means leading design across product features and initiatives, building strong relationships with users and stakeholders, and elevating the quality of UI and brand-aligned design assets. You’ll also contribute to strategic product decisions and support the growth of the design practice by mentoring junior designers.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, is confident in their design decisions, and is comfortable navigating ambiguity while helping to shape how design operates at VTS.
In a Typical Week You Can Expect To:
- Contribute to UX and UI design within a product team, embedded alongside engineers and product leads
- Build strong working relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Champion design thinking and help grow design maturity by clearly communicating design decisions and their value
- Support onboarding and improve user experience across the platform
- Evolve the Diverge design system and contribute to branding and communication assets
- Design for modularity and customisation across diverse customer groups
- Translate technical complexity into intuitive, user-first design solutions
- Support the platform’s expansion into new domains with varying user needs
What You’ll Bring:
- 5+ years of product/UX design experience, ideally in B2B or enterprise environments
- Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process and problem-solving
- Expertise in Figma and visual design fundamentals (form, shape, colour, layout)
- Experience in Agile product delivery and cross-functional collaboration
- Ability to conduct and synthesise user research (or willingness to learn)
- Confident communicator who can advocate for design and influence stakeholders
- Passion for UI and visual storytelling, with a strategic mindset
- Experience in branding and supporting sales collateral is a plus
- Familiarity with cloud-native platforms or the energy sector is beneficial
Why Join VTS?
- Career Growth: Work closely with our Principal Product Designer and grow your career through formal and informal development opportunities
- Meaningful Work: Tackle complex, real-world challenges that drive innovation
- Flexibility: Hybrid work options and flexible hours
- Wellbeing Support: Access to health and wellbeing initiatives
